The second planned project is the Bistatic Adaptable Radar Network (BARN) which will be integrated with existing DOWs and the COW to provide high resolution wind vector observations without the need for multiple, expensive transmitters. These bistatic receivers will consist of small antennas that can be deployed like Pods or mounted onto a ...
The scale of dBZ values can be seen along the bottom of the image. Decibel relative to Z, or dBZ, is a logarithmic dimensionless technical unit used in radar. It is mostly used in weather radar, to compare the equivalent reflectivity factor (Z) of a remote object (in mm 6 per m 3) to the return of a droplet of rain with a diameter of 1 mm (1 mm 6 per m 3).

The multiple reflections of the radar beam causing the hail spike. Generally known as hail spikes, these are the result of energy from the radar hitting hail, very heavy rain, or in extreme cases, debris being lofted by a tornado, and being reflected to the ground, where they reflect back to the hail and then to the radar as in the image on the left.
